Abstract

This essay focuses upon the limitations to Ivan iv’s biography set by the extant sources. Due to these limitations, some important episodes of the tsar’s life, including his participation in the administrative reforms carried out during his reign, remain unknown. Moreover, these lacunae cannot be filled in with mere logical conjectures. However, the situation is not totally hopeless. For instance, Ivan’s major concerns during the oprichnina can be revealed with the help of the marginal notes in the Royal Archive’s inventory which fixed the tsar’s uses of the documents. Apart from careful reexamination of the available sources, hopes for further insights into Ivan’s biography and reign are pinned on the applying of the emic approach, history of concepts and historical comparison.
伊凡雷帝与历史学家对16世纪传记极限的考验
本文主要探讨现存资料对伊凡四世传记的局限性。由于这些限制,沙皇生活中的一些重要事件,包括他在统治期间参与的行政改革,仍然不为人所知。此外,这些空白不能仅仅用逻辑推测来填补。然而,情况并非完全没有希望。例如,伊凡在奥普里契纳期间的主要关注点可以通过皇家档案馆清单的边缘注释来揭示,这些清单确定了沙皇对文件的使用。除了对现有资料进行仔细的重新审查之外,对伊凡生平和统治的进一步了解还依赖于主位方法、概念史和历史比较的应用。

期刊介绍: Russian History’s mission is the publication of original articles on the history of Russia through the centuries, in the assumption that all past experiences are inter-related. Russian History seeks to discover, analyze, and understand the most interesting experiences and relationships and elucidate their causes and consequences. Contributors to the journal take their stand from different perspectives: intellectual, economic and military history, domestic, social and class relations, relations with non-Russian peoples, nutrition and health, all possible events that had an influence on Russia. Russian History is the international platform for the presentation of such findings.
